METLIFE STADIUM
On August 23, 2011, the home of the New York Jets became MetLife Stadium. The insurance
company was the first of the four cornerstone partners in the new stadium, which opened in
the spring of 2010. MetLife Stadium is one of the highest-profile stadiums in the country with
more than 2 million fans attending events every year and it will host Super Bowl XLVIII in Febru-
ary 2014.
From the lighting and LED signage to the massive video boards to the plaza and tailgating options,
the stadium bleeds green on Jets gamedays. Travelling to the home of the Jets is quick and easy
with three times the number of roadways and a rail stop just outside the stadium.
Once at MetLife Stadium, fans have many options for entertainment and tailgating before the
game. The ESPN New York - 98.7FM pregame radio show broadcasts live from the west plaza area. Fans can enjoy activities for kids
and a vast array of food and beverage. Also, fans can find the latest gear at the team’s 10,000 square foot flagship plaza store. MetLife
and the cornerstone partners – Bud Light, Pepsi, EMC/SAP and Verizon – are integrated into the game experience with ample space
to engage and entertain fans.
Inside there is more food variety and concessions stands all adding up to a “Home Food Advantage” for fans. The intimate seating
bowl, uncompromised sightlines, cutting-edge video boards, LED signage and state-of-the-art sound system all enhance the game-
watching experience.
One of the biggest upgrades in MetLife Stadium is the availability of club seats. There are four clubs – Toyota Coaches, MetLife 50,
Chase and Lexus – that offer access to VIP reserved parking, a private club entrance as well as a host of other amenities and benefits.

ATLANTIC HEALTH JETS TRAINING CENTER
The Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in Florham Park, N.J. is the headquarters of the New York Jets. The team moved into the facil-
ity with a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 2, 2008. Located at One Jets Drive, this 224,000 square-foot complex is sur-
rounded by nearly 100 acres of open space and provides players, coaches and staff of the Jets with a state-of-the-art learning, practice
and working environment. The facility is a short drive to MetLife Stadium, Newark Liberty International Airport and Morristown Medi-
cal Center.
Woody Johnson hired world-renowned architecture firm, Skidmore Owings + Merrill and outlined three key objectives in the design of
the training facility. First, as the first true corporate headquarters for the team, the new training center needed to represent the be-
ginning of a new era for the Jets. Previously, the Jets business and football operations were located in separate multi-tenant buildings
more than 30 miles apart. The Atlantic Health Jets Training Center is a modern, glass and steel building that seamlessly combines the
operations of football and business departments. Serving as the home base for the entire Jets organization, it is equipped with open-
concept workstations and state-of-the-art technology to create an efficient and friendly work environment. The training center was a
major contributing factor in the team being named one of Inc. Magazine’s Top Small Company Workplaces in 2010. An outdoor terrace,
which overlooks the practice fields, provides a business entertainment area for both the team and its corporate partners.
Second, the training and medical facilities had to be state-of-the-art, combining the latest advances in rehabilitation pools, high-per-
formance equipment and nutrition. The complex has five full-size football fields; three natural grass, one Sportexe synthetic turf field
outdoors, and another in the Field House, each with a permanent scoreboard. The goalposts on two of the natural grass fields can be
repositioned 90 degrees in order to minimize wear on the grass. Inside the complex, the first floor is dedicated to one-hundred yards of
football along the “Players Gallery”, consisting of a life-size super-panoramic photo of cheering Jets fans that serves as a daily reminder

ATLANTIC HEALTH JETS TRAINING CENTER
ATLANTIC HEALTH JETS TRAINING CENTER HIGHLIGHTS
• 224,000 square-foot facility on a 27-acre campus
• Five full-length fields
• Permanent scoreboards for each field
• More than 75 miles of data cabling
• 5,500 square-foot locker room
• 11,00 square-foot weight room
• 10 state-of-the-art classrooms
• 60 large-screen TV monitors
• The Players Gallery, consisting of a life-size photo of cheering Jets fans, spans the building’s main corridor
of the tremendous support the Jets receive from our faithful fans. In addition, the first level features a 5,500-square-foot locker room,
an 11,000-square-foot weight room, and a 10,000 square foot cafeteria.
Third, the training center needed to be a “graduate school for football.” Players and coaches actually spend more time in the class-
rooms than on the football fields themselves. To that end, there is more than 25,000 square feet of space dedicated to classrooms and
instruction space – including 10 classrooms and two individual study rooms for video study. The classroom atrium is located at just
steps from the practice fields, with direct access to either the indoor or outdoor fields.
In 2011, the team hosted training camp at Atlantic Health Jets Training Center for the first time. The site, since 2009, has hosted mini-
camps and organized team activities that were open to fans. The Atlantic Health Jets Training Center is evidence of the team’s commit-
ment to excellence, providing the organization with a new competitive advantage and a new community to call home.
